GLASSBORO – The day off was just what the Pennsville baseball team needed.

Chase Burchfield hit one of four Pennsville homers and drove in six runs as the Eagles overran Glassboro 15-1 in five innings Monday, the day after a welcomed day off from a busy week.

The game was expected to continue a run of nine games in eight days for the Eagles, but they got a reprieve when they split at the Oakcrest Tournament Saturday and didn’t make it to the Sunday final. Their second game Saturday was their sixth in five days.

The Eagles banged out 17 hits in the game. Peyton O’Brien went 4-for-4 with a pair of doubles, Burchfield and Luke Wood both went 3-for-3, and lone senior Jacob Grant had two hits. Every batter in the Pennsville lineup had at least one hit.

Cohen Petrutz, Grant and Stevie Fatcher also homered. Grant (three-run), Burchfield (two-run) and Petrutz (two-run) all homered in a seven-run fifth inning that put the game in run-rule mode. It was Grant’s first career home run came in his 72nd game after 191 high school at bats and 231 plate appearances.

Wood pitched all five innings, allowing five hits and one unearned run, and struck out 10.

The Eagles (9-3) are back at it Tuesday at home against Schalick.

PITMAN 8, PENNS GROVE 1: The Panthers (8-2) scored two runs in the third inning on an error to pull away from a 1-1 tie and never looked back. Three Pitman pitchers held the Red Devils to one hit, a single by Ryan Hyatt leading off the sixth inning.

Penns Grove (0-6) scored its run in the home first when Pitman misplayed Ethan Brooks’ infield grounder with Chase Willis at third.

CAMDEN TECH 12, SALEM 2: Johnny Laurick went 3-for-3 with three RBIs and three Warrior pitchers held Salem to five hits. The Rams fell behind 4-0 after two innings and couldn’t catch up. Colin Finney, Bryce Harris, Andrew May, Chase Davis and Ryan Timmons had the hits for Salem.
